One of my friends studied at Sardar College of Engineering. It has only 3 branches namely Mechanical, Civil and Electrical. According to him, this helps as it gets more focused for the administration to work with the students and give them the best to offer.

• The faculties are good and hardworking with experience in their respective fields both practical and theoretical aspects of the topics.
• When it comes to core subjects of engineering the faculty really is helpful and cooperative.
• Lectures happen regularly and are planned ahead of time so that you can come prepared for them.
• Attending lectures is compulsory and you can be put under the defaulters’ list if you miss it.
• Cultural and technical fests are regularly organized so you get to meet outsiders and can compete to increase the capacity.
• Sports fests are also organized.

The institute has tie-ups with industries nearby that train the students and offer internships. The overall placement, packages, and ambience are great. The Alumni network is not so great but will still prove helpful.
